Bouncing Back Brandon Carter

Ever feel like life is kicking you while you're down? That there's no light at the end of the tunnel, and you want to give up hoping?My inspirational story is about achieving success in baseball, undergoing life threatening brain surgery on a small, benign tumor the the last 9 years of my life. From learning to walk again, becoming a youth leader and youth coach in my church, getting a 4.0 GPA after a year in college, to becoming a Scoutmaster. Medical Professionals explained to me that my surgery would be smooth and all would go well. To my surprise, I woke up in the I. C. U. with tubes coming out of me, double vision, and had lost the ability to walk. This story is one of hope, and proves that anything is possible no matter who tells you that you can't do it!
